“Reflecting the peak of Synthetic Cubism at that time, the city appears deconstructed into geometric planes, shifting between two and three dimensions…The composition unfolds across multiple planes, which themselves subdivide further: the shape of the canvas—like a window onto the landscape—mirrors the shape of the building windows, which in turn repeat the city’s architectural forms…Here,…

John William Waterhouse: Female head study for ‘A Naiad’
“This highly-impressionistic sketch is a study of the female model in Waterhouse’s painting of 1893 entitled A Naiad (private collection). It anticipates his masterpiece of three years later Hylas and the Nymphs (1896, Manchester City Gallery), which depicts Hylas, a companion of Hercules, who becomes bewitched by a group of mesmerisingly beautiful water-nymphs who lure…

Emil Nolde: Blaue Stiefmütterchen
“There is silver blue, sky blue and thunder blue. Every colour holds within it a soul, which makes me happy or repels me, and which acts as a stimulus. To a person who has no art in him, colours are colours, tones tones…and that is all. All their consequences for the human spirit, which range…

Claude Monet: Nymphéas fragment
“Monet first painted the Nymphéas in 1897 and the motif occupied the artist until his death in 1926; hundreds of canvases illustrate the pond and surrounding gardens. As the series progressed, Monet’s art underwent a shift from his earlier, more precise impressionistic landscapes to increasingly indulgent and vibrant waterscapes that border on abstraction. Monet wrote…

“Painted in 1876, Dans la prairie dates from the time that Claude Monet spent in Argenteuil, a pool of rural calm and beauty within easy reach of Paris. The picture is filled with colour, with flowers captured in darting brushstrokes that lend the work a deliberately hazy vivacity. And dominating the composition, despite the fact that she…
